Agent-Based Models of Polarization and Ethnocentrism Paperback / softback
by Michael (New York University) Laver
Part of the Elements in Quantitative and Computational Methods for the Social Sciences series
Paperback / softback
Description
Building on the Cambridge Element Agent Based Models of Social Life: Fundamentals (Cambridge, 2020), we move on to the next level.
We do this by building agent based models of polarization and ethnocentrism.
In the process, we develop: stochastic models, which add a crucial element of uncertainty to human interaction; models of human interactions structured by social networks; and 'evolutionary' models in which agents using more effective decision rules are more likely to survive and prosper than others.
The aim is to leave readers with an effective toolkit for building, running and analyzing agent based modes of social interaction.
